I won't say that this isn't a possibility but the seller assured me that they are for an '08. If they are the wrong ones, they will be broadcasting a different frequency correct? Other than 433 MHz? I assume that any handheld scanner used by a tire shop won't give any frequency information?

I suppose that if the scanner shows one isn't broadcasting, I'll just replace that one. If they're all broadcasting it's probably safe to assume they are the wrong ones.
